Yesterday, Truffles was very excited to tell me what she found…

A crack on the ground. But the dialogue didn’t have much of a point to it. She was just saying that you can dig where you see cracks in the ground to find what fabulous things were buried there. Just obvious, Day 1, tutorial type dialogue. 😛

Pippy has still been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some more medicine yesterday and again today. However, she said she’s still not fully recovered yet.

Today, Curt was being unusually nice to me. It was odd.

Even though that conversation felt weird, that was nice of him.

Robin asked me for some blue furniture, so I kept an eye out when I went to shop at Nookington’s. I spotted an elephant slide, which is mostly blue, so I decided to buy that for her.

I went up to Robin’s house, but my heart dropped when I walked inside. She already had an elephant slide!

I know in some games (at least New Horizons), they won’t accept a gift if they already have one. But I tried it anyway, and to my surprise, she accepted it! She liked it, and she rewarded me with a cowhide rug! But this begged the question: Would she display them both? So I left and re-entered her house…and the answer is yes!

She even said it was weird to think about life without it!

That’s such an odd thing to say, considering she already had one. 🤔 But hey, if she likes having two slides, that’s fine by me.

Frobert told me there was a lot of furniture he likes, but first he had to worry about his sweaty floors. Why would his floors be sweating? 😉 No, I guess he meant he had dripped his own sweat all over his floor, which sounds even worse. Gross…and an odd thing to say.

At first I thought that was just (weird) random dialogue. But after I heard him say it a 2nd time, I wondered if he was actually asking me for some new flooring. So I went back to the shop and bought him some red tile (flooring). However, when I returned to him, he made no mention of the flooring in my pockets. I guess buying it was a waste of time (and bells).

At town hall, I found a birdcage in the recycle bin! Not sure who threw out a bird, but I guess they were trying to be Earth-friendly…you know: Reuse. Recycle. Re-tweet. 🐦

After selling some fossils and fruit, my savings balance reached 18 million bells.

On Wednesday, I received my latest house score from the Happy Room Academy (HRA). Thanks to Curt’s pic, which I added last week, my score is up to 296,900 points.

Filbert asked me if I was collecting shells in order to recreate Poseidon’s palace!

He said it would practically make me royalty. 😛 And he would visit as Prince Filbert, ruler of the sea.

I saw a weather bulletin on the bulletin board, reminding me that winter (and snow) will be coming soon. Oof.

Yesterday, Whitney told me that it’s better to walk for an hour than to run for half an hour. She said she tries to make pleasurable things last as long as possible…on a pig.

Today, I found Pascal standing near the ocean. He told me that crocodiles can outrun horses on land! I have my doubts about that one, even if crocs can be fast in short bursts.

He gave me a ship cannon before plunging into the cold sea.

Truffles asked me how she looked, but there was no option to actually reply. So I was quite surprised when she thought I said she looked like a total movie star! Yeah, I don’t think so.

Pippy was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Pippy!

On Thursday, Curt wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a crucian carp…with legs! I don’t think anyone is going to find one of those with legs! 😆

Yesterday must have been Dharma Day, because Nookington’s had both the regular and mini-dharmas!

Filbert was complaining about his latest Happy Room Academy evaluation. Apparently, his score was literally zero! Wow! You can’t get any worse than that!

Whitney was talking about La-Di-Day, and she wished that it ran longer than just one day. She wanted to sing until dawn, on a pig.

As for La-Di-Day, today was the day. Truffles said that once her song is chosen as the town tune, talent scouts won’t stop calling her.

She said it’s hard being a chart-topping pop star. Wow.

Since my town tune isn’t that old anyway, I didn’t ask anyone to sing me any new options this time.

When I went to visit Filbert, I saw that his house was completely empty! And all of a sudden, his HRA score of zero suddenly made sense.

He was planning on moving out of town, and villagers will usually pack up their furniture in boxes. But apparently, he didn’t have any furniture! The last time I visited him, he only had some fish and some clothes on display. I knew fish and bugs wouldn’t be packed up, but the same must apply to clothes as well. At any rate, I talked him out of moving.

As I walked near the river, Curt surprised me by giving me his picture!

I took it home and put it on display in my Gulliver room. His favorite quote is on the back: “I’m watching you!” 👀
